The line's streetcars were manufactured by a Czech
company, Inekon Trams A.S. The model is called the Trio-12.
Similar units, but of a less-advanced design, entered service earlier first
in Portland and then in Tacoma.
In this scene, one day before public operation began, a test
run had just turned off the short stretch of private right of way, crossing
Valley St. to head onto
Westlake Ave. N. Rail traffic has its own signal to proceed across this
very busy intersection. |
